Well, I have heard that too, but I just bought a GUS replacing my
SB, and I just have to comment that I think GUS seriously is the best
choice out there.

I am not biased because I have one, but rather, I bought one because the
netters have stated over and over that GUS is the way to go.  And the
netters are right! 

GUS, ( IMHO ) sounds at least as good as if not better than SBPRO and PAS
16 or whatever.  The GUS also supports up to 32 digital sound channels, if
the software were to take advantage of it.

The biggest improvement for DOOM players using the GUS over SB or PAS 8/16
is that the FM music chip on the SB and PAS is replaced by digital sounds.
The improvement could be measured in magnitudes.  I am just so happy with this
card that I could go on and on, but I have to get back to work.
